Per the rules, if we ever got suspended from school we were supposed to come straight home... so when I didn't Mrs. Grant 'feared the worst' and assumed that the Yukon had gotten stolen, so instead of calling me and asking she called the police. Once they let me go my ONLY concern was getting my daughter who hadn't stopped screaming since they had taken her out the car.... I was fuming, I wanted to punch on that bitch as soon as I saw her which exactly why I didn't go back to the group home, I just chilled at the library around the corner from school until it was time to pick them up because I needed a buffer just in case I couldn't control my anger. Does this bitch not realize what could've happened to me? I could've easily been shot... these fuckin police officers don't give a damn about me or anyone who looked like me, just thinking about it pissed me all the way off, but for as pissed as I was it didn't have shyt on Jace. He had been looking for a reason to get Mrs. Grant fired and the more he ranted to more I knew I could just sit back and watch the show that was about to happen the second we pulled into the driveway.
"I DON'T GIVE A FUCK QUANTAVIUS, THAT BITCH WAS DEAD WRONG!!!! SO YOU BETTER NOT SAY SHYT OR TRY TO STOP ME CUZ YOU CAN GET IT TOO!!! I SWEAR THIS IS ABOUT TO BE A KUNG-FU DRAGGING WITH READS AS FAST AS LIGHTNING." Jace said punching his hand.
"Ayy Ronnie can you take Corrina over to Fat Daddy? I don't want her in the house for this.... just in case shyt goes left." I said looking at Ronnie who nodded, I handed my daughter over who was now sleeping and the realization of what could've happened hit me hard as fuck; I was learning what it was like to grow up without my parents and I didn't want that for her.
"MOVE BIG MIKE!!!" Jace said as Big Mike blocked the door. "IN THE WORDS OF MY HERO; GIVE ME ENTRY TO THE HOUSE, GIVE ME ACCESS TO THE BITCH!!!" Jace said pushing Big Mike to the side as if he was twenty pounds.
"Carter I am so sorry for this misunderstanding." Mrs. Grant said, her face was red but her apologies meant nothing to me at this point. "I was just following the rules as they were presented to me."
"Do you not realize the danger you put me and my daughter in because of this 'misunderstanding'? Do you not realize that I could've ended up as a fuckin hashtag today? Our does your blonde hair and white skin protect you from the seeing that because I'm black I'm at a higher risk of being shot?" I asked moving to the corner of the room because.
"CARTER YOU SOUND LIKE A WHOLE BITCH RIGHT NOW, YOU NEED TO DRAG.... UGH YOU KNOW WHAT I'LL DO IT FOR YOU BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY YOU AREN'T GOING TO GO IN ON THIS OL' LEATHER BOOT IN THE FACE BUILT ASS BITCH!!! THIS OL' RAISINS AND APPLES IN THE POTATO SALAD BUILT ASS BITCH!!! THIS OL' CAN I SPEAK TO THE MANAGER BUILT ASS BITCH THIS OL' IF YOU BREAK MY HEART, MY ACHY BREAKY HEART BUILT ASS BITCH!!! THIS....." I could see that Jace was just getting started but Ms. Gina stopped him before he could go any further.
"Jace sit down!" Ms. Gina said and Jace sat down and I could tell he was just waiting for his moment.
"I know what we need.... let's all join hands and clear the air, I know the perfect song to get us to a better place." Mrs. Grant said clearing her throat. "Lift ev'ry voice and sing, till earth and heaven ring....." Her voice faltered as everyone in the room looked at her daring her to sing another word.
"I know this bitch didn't just try to channel the ancestors, I swear to M'Baku this bitch wants me to drag her." Jace said."Oh no baby, you gotta leave, before you end up on the kitchen floor lookin for the keys, Kelly Rowland type of teas." I was over it because the more I heard her talk the more I wanted to kill her. Technically since I was suspended I wasn't allowed to leave the house but I think I've earned a pass given the circumstances, I walked across the street and got my daughter, after talking to Fat Daddy for a few minutes I went to see one of the only people who could calm me down.
"Damn big bro, I just heard what happened are you alright?" Romeraux asked as I walked into his house. "Turn around and lift up your shirt." Romeraux said and rolled my eyes but did as he said. "Damn bro... you're definitely going to have a scar, you better be lucky it was only the dry stun and not the prongs... or worse."
"Yeah well, it shouldn't have happened in the first place. Bianca is pissed and from what Brian was telling me she's ready to go over there and slap the fuck outta Mrs. Grant for putting our daughter at risk. But I'm not trying to think about that, what's going on with you? How was your first day?" I asked smirking.
"It was coo.... there's this one dude that caught my eye but other than that, it's the first day of school which means nothing exciting happened." Romeraux said shrugging.
"Maybe at your weak ass school, but I already got suspended because this nigga was fuckin with Xion." I said, damn I really fucked that nigga up now that I think about it. "And what happened to you and Courtney? I thought y'all were like a couple or something....."
"Hold on you're not just going to slide past the whole Xion being back part, especially after how you've been acting since he started ghosting your ass, so wassup? Did he give you a reason why he stopped calling, answering, and texting you?" Romeraux asked.
"Yeah and we're solid... so what happened with you and Courtney?" I asked getting the subject off my dude because I didn't want to tell all Xion's business.
"When we see each other we see each other but he made it clear that I was free to do me while he was gone and that's what I'm planning to do. Besides its senior year and I'm trying to enjoy it to the fullest, who knows I might smash one of them Seattle niggas when they get down here." Romeraux said smiling.
"Bro you a hoe forreal...." I said laughing. "I'm lowkey nervous about meeting these niggas though, from what Big Mike was telling us they're a handful and the last thing I want is to have to break my foot off in one of their asses for talking slick, but look I need you to babysit for a few hours." I said handing Romeraux, Corrina's diaper bag. "I should be gone two hours at the most, there's somebody I gotta see." I said kissing Corrina on the forehead and walking out.
"Does Lavercier know?" I asked Xion who was sitting on the floor playing his Gamecube, which I was surprised actually worked.
"Nah I told you I didn't tell him... I mean I wanted to but I didn't wanna drag him into my issue and get himself into trouble...." Xion said while I understood where he was coming from I knew Lavercier was going to be pissed if he once Xion eventually told him.
"Gimme your phone." I said looking at Xion and he knew what I was about to do but he didn't resist, I scrolled through his phone and saw BRO 1🏈 and BRO 2🏀 and I froze for just a second, I knew how protective Lavercier was over Xion especially after they lost their brother Jayceon.... but like I said he had to know.
"Sup Xi...." Lavercier said and I wasted no time.
"I just felt like you should know, when you left Xion with your boy's brother one of his friends drugged and raped him, the only reason I'm telling you is because now you got two options either you handle or I will." I said quietly, now I know I was taking a huge risk by threatening The Juggernaut but given what I had just told him I think he'd give me a pass.
"Put Xion on the phone...." Lavercier said in a whisper, it was a brief conversation; Lavercier didn't stay on the phone long and Xion only said one word... or name 'Zelle'. After they talked Xion looked at me and I could tell there was a weight lifted off his chest.
"Let's go get some ice cream, I really want an Oreo Blizzard." Xion said getting up and I smiled, I could see some of the light coming back into his eyes that was missing earlier but he still had a long way to go, so as we walked out to the car I sent two text messages one to Tino because I was serious about going down to Atlanta one weekend and finding this nigga Zelle, and the second one was to Ronnie because I knew he knew better than anyone what it was like to go through something like this and I wanted him to help Xion in any way possible.......
